We will be spending 4 days in Ironbridge, and whilst my husband thinks he will be spending most of his spare time in the pub, I fancy a picnic and he has agreed. We're bringing our car so quite happy to drive a few miles.

1. If you want to stay in Ironbridge 'Dale End Park' is a nice park next to the river with picnic tables.

2. If you like walking head for the Wrekin (about 5 miles from Ironbridge). The Wrekin is a hill which has a nice walk to the top which is not to difficult to manage. At the top you can have picnic and take in great views over Shropshire

3. If you head out of Ironbridge towards Buildwas and Wroxeter there is a nice picnic area overlooking the river severn about 7-8 miles outside of Ironbridge

4. My favourite is probably Cardingmill Valley (Church Stretton) its about a 40 minute drive from Ironbridge, travelling through Much Wenlock and over Wenlock Edge (you can also picnic here aswell)

Equally, if the weather is nice then a trip to Bridgnorth is also worth considering - visit the Severn Valley Railway, take a trip from Low Town to High Town on the fernicular railway, have a picnic on the banks of the Severn. A little further is a small place called Hampton Laode which used to have a hand pulled ferry to take passengers from one side of the river to the other (where there was a pub). If that's still going it's an unusual thing to do.
